I have found that I have to monitor my friendships with other non-straight people more so than those with straight friends -- but I have still gained a lot of insight and support from gay, lesbian, and bisexual friends. Still, at times, it seems that the great "connection" between us is that we are not straight, not that we necessarily have similar values, like each others company, or enjoy doing things together.

Yes... It is different.
Im am a straight male, who has a gay male mate and 2 bi male mates.
I have a set rule, "I dont f**k my friends."
This rule applies to female friends as well. Unless it isnt "platonic".
Apart from the fact, the same sex repulse me when i think of sex (in the natural impulsive way), if they are your friends, you shouldnt think of them in sexual manner. If a friend of yours thinks of you in a sexual manner, you should question their friendship and their intentions, maybe their just manipulating and playing the friendship role to get closer... Scary thought.
Lucky my gay mate was a mate, before puberty (before knowing he was gay), so I can trust him to get drunk around. LOL :P

It's harder to stay friends only. Unless you are absolutely NOT attracted to the person.
